Charlie, I'm a descendant of William of Providence as many of us here
are. I live in Ft Stockton, TX, not very far from Alamogordo, by our
standards. My particular branch stayed in NY for a long time,then wandered
the midwest and came south and then west to southern NM where my grandfather
ranched NW of Deming and my grandmother raised cotton near Anthony NM. My
daughter and grandchildren are living on a ranch west of Ft Davis, TX,
almost in view of Carpenter Mountain, named for Stephen Decatur Carpenter
who served at both Ft Davis and Ft Stockton and I think was also a
descendant of William of Providence. If you ever come down this way, say
hello.

Good morning Gail,
I started looking into my "background" in the late 90's. Then retired and
kind of forgot about genealogy. Now my sister has retired and started
asking
questions and doing some basic research on our family.
Since I'm not in my birth State and she is, she does the "running round"
for
both of us.
I got 99% of my info from the Internet back in the last 90's. Plus I got a
LOT of bad data, naturally! I'm now working my way back from myself and
fill
in the blanks, plus verifying as much as possible. It's time consuming but
I've got the time (I hope!)
>From the best knowledge I have, I'm related to William Carpenter,
Providence, R.I., Born 5 April 1727. My parents are from Giles Cnty, TN.,
and I can follow my relatives from my parents back to William. BUT, past
my
grand father there isn't any proof, meaning I haven't found birth/death
certificates or other related documents concerning this family.
That's where I stand at the moment.
Thanks for your response.
Sincerely,
Charlie Carpenter
Alamogordo, NM

I would be really interested to know what Carpenter information Charlie
are looking for as well.
